ZiiGaat Arcanis Hybrid In-Ear Monitors Review
A hybrid IEM from ZiiGaat that the page lists as 2DD+5BA: two 10mm dynamic drivers and five Knowles balanced armature drivers with a 4-way passive crossover. It suits buyers who want a stated driver layout, at $339.15; the listing text gives no cable or plug details.

Our verdict
A 2DD+5BA hybrid IEM for someone who wants a stated driver layout with named Knowles parts at $339.15. Look elsewhere if you need to know the cable, connector or plug before buying, or want impedance and sensitivity figures, since the listing text gives none of them. The main caveat is that the sound and accuracy descriptions are the maker's wording, so rely on the listed drivers and your own listening.
- Best for
- Someone who wants a hybrid IEM with a stated 2DD+5BA layout and named Knowles balanced armature parts.
- Skip if
- You need the cable, connector or plug type and impedance stated on the page before you buy.
Two 10mm dynamic drivers and five Knowles balanced armature drivers make up the ZiiGaat Arcanis, which the page calls a 2DD+5BA hybrid. It lists the dynamic pair in an isobaric configuration, the balanced armature drivers as two Knowles 32873, two Knowles 29689 and one Knowles 33518, and a 4-way passive crossover network. It is listed at $339.15 as a single option, and the listing text gives no cable details.
Options and pricing
One orderable option is listed at $339.15, with no color or plug choice. The page shows $399 crossed out beside the price, which is the store's own comparison and not something we checked. The listing text gives no cable, connector or plug information, so this review cannot say which plug or connector the set uses.
How it compares
The 7HZ Aurora costs the same $339.15 and its listing text mentions Tribrid, planar and hybrid, where the Arcanis lists dynamic and balanced armature drivers only. The Yanyin Canon Pro is $339.99 and the ZiiGaat Luna is $322.15 with 6BA in its listing text.
Shipping
- Methods and costs. The store's shipping page offers Standard Shipping (4PX, Yanwen or Yun Express), free for most countries, and Express Shipping (DHL Express, FedEx or SF Express) at 15-50 USD depending on the country, free for orders over 270 USD in most countries (checked 2026-11-11).
- Delivery times. It says an in-stock order ships within 3 working days, Standard takes about 2 weeks after shipping out (up to 1-3 months for some countries, and the store makes no refund for that transit time) and Express takes about 3-7 days. Festive seasons and other circumstances can change the timing.
- Taxes and fees. The buyer pays any customs, import or processing fees. The page says Standard via YunExpress is tax-inclusive for some countries, that remote areas can carry extra Express charges, and that a parcel refused or left uncollected over taxes is deducted two-way freight and may be destroyed with no refund.
- Where it ships. The page says the store can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to confirm Standard with the team for your country. It cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses and can only use Express to Hawaii. It does not name the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so confirm before you pay.
- Lost parcels. If a parcel has been in transit for at least 3 months, the page offers a one-time reshipment or a full refund for orders under $50 and a 50% refund for orders above $50.
Returns and warranty
- Returns. The return page allows returning any non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying the shipping. Email [email protected] within that period; the store asks for the return to be shipped within 5 working days of the RMA instructions and in most cases processes a refund within 5 business days of inspecting it (checked 2026-11-11).
- Opened items. A product opened within the first 7 days after delivery can be returned for the price minus a restocking fee of 35% of its retail value, including when it still works properly.
- Refund or credit. The buyer can choose a refund to the original payment method (PayPal or card) or store credit; with no answer within 48 hours of confirmation the default is store credit, which can also be prioritized during promotions, final-sale events and for items 40% or more off retail.
- Not returnable. Customized products, including faceplate designs, are non-refundable, and the page says the same applies to carry cases, cables, ear tips and other accessories, "due to hygiene purposes". If one item in a package is defective, incorrect or missing, the refund or replacement covers only that item.
- Warranty. The page gives a 1-year warranty on products, excluding carry cases, ear tips and other accessories, and 3 months on cables and adapters, from the date of purchase. It covers factory defects that affect proper function, not damage from human error, negligence, accidents, dismantling, water, abuse or modification (checked 2026-11-11).
- Not covered or limited. It does not apply to items bought elsewhere (AliExpress, Amazon, local dealers and the like), prize or giveaway items, normal wear or colour change, commercial use, or items that were stolen or went missing. Coverage is limited for products 40% or more off retail, for review units and for items repaired or modified by anyone Linsoul has not authorized.
- Claims. Email [email protected] with the order number, the issue and photos and videos of the fault. The store may ask for the unit back for a replacement. It covers shipping for some defects reported within 7 days of delivery if the fault can be shown on video or photo; after 7 days the buyer ships it back. For wrong or missing items an unboxing video of the whole sealed parcel is required.
Before you buy
Linsoul says it was founded in 2016 by the Crazy HiFi team to bring Chinese HiFi makers closer to listeners worldwide, and that it now sells other makers' products alongside four brands of its own, THIEAUDIO, Kiwi Ears, ZiiGaat and Tripowin (checked 2026-11-11).
This product is from one of those brands, so Linsoul is both the seller and the brand's owner: its descriptions of the product are the brand owner's own claims.
We have not read any independent review of this product or of the store. Ratings and owner reviews shown on the store's own pages are the store's and were not verified.
What we liked
- The page spells out the layout as 2DD+5BA and names the Knowles parts: 32873, 29689 and 33518
- The dynamic drivers are described as two 10mm units in an isobaric configuration
- A 4-way passive crossover network is stated
- The shell is described as 3D-printed medical-grade resin with hand-painted faceplates
Worth noting
- The listing text gives no cable, connector or plug details, so the cable and source fit are unknown
- The listing text gives no impedance, sensitivity or frequency response
- The page's sound and tuning descriptions are the maker's wording and cannot be checked from the listing
Questions before you buy
What drivers does the ZiiGaat Arcanis list?
The page lists a 2DD+5BA layout: two 10mm dynamic drivers in an isobaric configuration and five Knowles balanced armature drivers (two 32873, two 29689 and one 33518).
Which cable and plug does it use?
The listing text gives no cable, connector or plug details, so this review cannot say. The page does describe a 3D-printed medical-grade resin shell with hand-painted faceplates.
What crossover does it list?
The page says it uses a 4-way passive crossover network that assigns each driver group to its own frequencies.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
The return page allows returning a non-customized product that is still factory sealed within 30 days of receiving it, with the buyer paying shipping. An opened product returned within 7 days carries a 35% restocking fee. Refunds go to the original payment method or to store credit, which is the default if you do not choose.

Does Linsoul ship to the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand?
The page says Linsoul can generally ship to most countries by Express and many by Standard, and to ask the team about Standard for your country. It names no restriction for the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or New Zealand, but it does not list them either, and it can only use Express to Hawaii.
What warranty does it have?

What we couldn’t verify
- The page's tuning and sound descriptions (a 9dB output at 20Hz, a subwoofer response cutting at 250Hz, a flat midrange, a natural treble curve) are the maker's claims and were not checked here.
- The listing text gives no cable, connector, plug type, impedance, sensitivity or frequency response, so none of them can be checked here.
- The page says the Knowles drivers are American-made and that every unit goes through an individual QC process; both are maker claims that were not checked here.
- We have not read an independent review of this product or the store, and the store's own ratings were not verified. We read the store's catalog description only: a specification table or image shown just on the live page was not read.
- The shipping page names no US, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand times or fees: its figures are general and we could not confirm them for these countries.
- Linsoul owns this brand, so the store's descriptions of it are the owner's own claims, which we could not check independently.
